Read the excerpt from Rudolfo Anaya’s essay “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry.”

Tortillas and poetry. They go hand in hand. Books nourish the spirit, bread nourishes our bodies. Our distinct cultures nourish each one of us, and as we know more and more about the art and literature of the different cultures, we become freer and freer. . . .

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to sample different ethnic foods, the breads of many many groups; just as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world. I travel to foreign countries, and I know more about myself as I learn more about my fellow human beings. Censorship imposes itself in my path of knowledge, and that activity can be justified by no one.

Which phrase from the excerpt best helps the reader identify the author’s purpose?
“I know more about myself as I learn more about my fellow human beings”
“I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to sample different ethnic foods”
“many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world”
“we know more and more about the art and literature of the different cultures”

Read the following excerpt from Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” and identify the correct synonym for each bolded word.

Now her bosom rose and fell tumultuously. She was beginning to recognize this thing that was approaching to possess her, and she was striving to beat it back with her will—as powerless as her two white slender hands would have been. When she abandoned herself a little whispered word escaped her slightly parted lips. She said it over and over under her breath: "free, free, free!" The vacant stare and the look of terror that had followed it went from her eyes. They stayed keen and bright. Her pulses beat fast, and the coursing blood warmed and relaxed every inch of her body.

I call your attention to certain measures as to which I think there should be action by the Congress before the close of the present session. There is ample time for their consideration. As regards most if not all of the matters, bills have been introduced into one or the other of the two Houses, and it is not too much to hope that action will be taken one way or the other on these bills at the present session. In my message at the opening of the present session, and, indeed, in various messages to previous Congresses, I have repeatedly suggested action on most of these measures.
Child labor should be prohibited throughout the Nation. At least a model child-labor bill should be passed for the District of Columbia. It is unfortunate that in the one place solely dependent upon Congress for its legislation there should be no law whatever to protect children by forbidding or regulating their labor.
I renew my recommendation for the immediate reenactment of an employers' liability law, drawn to conform to the recent decision of the Supreme Court. Within the limits indicated by the court, the law should be made through and comprehensive, and the protection it affords should embrace every class of employee to which the power of the Congress can extend.
In addition to a liability law protecting the employees of common carriers, the Government should show its good faith by enacting a further law giving compensation to its own employees for injury or death incurred1 in its service. It is a reproach to us as a Nation that in both Federal and State legislation we have afforded less protection to public and private employees than any other industrial country of the world.
I also urge that action be taken along the line of the recommendations I have already made concerning injunctions2 in labor disputes. No temporary restraining order should be issued by any court without notice; and the petition for a permanent injunction upon which such temporary restraining order has been issued should be heard by the court issuing the same within a reasonable time—say, not to exceed a week or thereabouts from the date when the order was issued.

Create a short outline for an essay about the causes and effects of the civil rights movement. Your claim doesn't have to be argumentative, but it should say something that isn't obvious — something that needs to be backed up with reasons and evidence. In later lessons, you'll use your outline and research to draft your essay. Then you'll present that essay to the class.
Your outline should include a claim that answers a research question, at least three main points that support your claim, and a list of sources that will provide evidence to back up your claim and main points. Make sure that your sources are reasonably up-to-date, published by trustworthy companies or organizations, transparent about where their information comes from, and written by an author who has some authority.
Your outline should include the following elements:
A claim that answers your research question and says something interesting enough to justify a whole essay
At least three main points that support your claim
Citation information for at least three credible sources whose evidence backs up your claim or main points
You should have completed a draft of this assignment in the activity before this one. If you haven't done so, go back and complete that activity now.

Read the excerpt from "Freedom Riders.”

"Are you all right?” A woman’s voice asked. I jumped, surprised at being spoken to. And then I kind of jumped again when I saw who was speaking. Three things hit me at once about the woman sitting down next to me. She was younger than most of the others, closer to my age if not quite as young. And she was pretty. And she was white. I had known that some of the riders would be white, but still it felt strange to speak to her.

spoken
surprised
